People liking your personal OCs is still such a crazy feeling, I've been doing this for years and ppl asking about them still fills my entire heart with warmth and idk how to handle it

You enjoy this fictional guy I made up for fun?? Whose only content is random artwork or writing made by me and a handful of other artists at most? They have no show/book/game with a large fandom, it's just one person with an art blog?? I love u

Stop trying to make IRA films! WE NEED OBNOXIOUSLY LONG 17TH-AND-18TH CENTURY POLITICIAN BIOPICS!!!!

Actually I'll be honest I would kill for nearly any historical film set in northern ireland that isn't about the troubles just because there's so few. no more troubles films we have enough troubles films it's high time we had literally anything else

Which period of Irish history would you most want a movie to be made about? For me it'd be the early modern period/Tudor reconquest/plantations-era. There are too many movies about like 1916 or the war of independence compared to earlier periods tbh.

Ooh okay so first off I too would kill for a film abt the planatations etc. secondly I have 3 additional irish history films I really really wish existed:

Black '47-esque film but it's about the famine of 1741. opening shot of the shannon almost totally frozen over... scenes of the starving peasants building an obelisk for the vanity of some uncaring local lord... perhaps something similar to how all quiet on the western front 2022 has the plot split between ppl trying to negotiate for peace + the ppl in the trenches with some scenes focusing on the primate boulter frantically trying everything he can think of for relief VS the actual lives of the peasants he's still so removed from... oh I can see it in my head it would be so good and also extremely cathartic for me specifically

Something about the period right before/right after the revolution of 1782! I think u could make a rlly rlly interesting + cinematically beautiful film about dublin society in the 1770s and 1780s, whether you focused on the politics or no. personally of course I would be partial to, like, some sort of 4 hour grattanite patriot party film which is incomprehensible if you don't already know what's going on, but as I said I would even take something along the lines of "dangerous liasons but it's set in dublin" if that was being offered

Film about late 17th century to early 18th century belfast presbyterian infighting. that's it that's the idea. samuel haliday cinematic universe WHEN

Politician voice: well you see the government which I control will always be committed to making life terrible for every jewish person on earth. to fix this we must... send them somewhere I can't see them. to fight antisemitism. what do you mean I should just change the government which I control to make it no longer anti-jewish instead what the fuck is your problem

Obviously acknowledging antisemitism everywhere is a good thing + a crucial step towards making this world a safer place for jewish ppl to exist in but is anyone else kind of distressed by how many ppl in power have recently gotten extremely comfortable declaring that actually their country (the one they have power over) will never ever be safe for jewish ppl and therefore all of them need to just go somewhere rlly rlly far away so that they can protect themselves from the country that the speaker has power over. and if u suggest that anything else like idk actually trying to make the country in question safe for jewish ppl rather than just kicking them out might perhaps be a better answer u are actually the monstrously antisemitic one

#politicians talking abt how every jewish person has to go to palestine immediately to be safe rather than doing anything about the rise in #white nationalism. awesome. I love it here.

Nothing more annoying than writers who write historical fiction but don’t want to put in the work to make it historically accurate. A couple minor anachronisms here and there are one thing, but that particular kind of weirdly smug disregard for historical accuracy is insufferable.

Just make it science fiction! Set it on an alien planet! Set it in the far future, or an alternate timeline, or some kind of warped preserved memory! Take that particular thing that interests you most about a period of history and slap it into another reality and worldbuild around it to your heart’s content… that’s cool. That’s fun. And it doesn’t have that taint of meanness towards the past that makes low-effort historical fiction so irritating.

wish i was a late republican roman girl

i would listen to speeches by cicero at the rostra. i would read caesar's commentaries on the gallic war in the roman forum. i would fear invasions from the germanic tribes. i would marry a man with a purple bordered toga and distinguished ancestors and follow the mos maiorum. i would get proscribed and have my property confiscated and be declared an enemy of the state

usamerican stupidity has so much range because it can go anywhere from "whoa I can't believe you guys don't have [hyperspecific venue/product such as 7 Eleven or Ben and Jerry's]" to "DUDE ARGENTINA HAS INTERNET??"

History of Step

What is Stepping?

What is Step?

Stepping or step dancing is “a percussive dance in which the participant’s body is used to produce complex rhythms and sounds through a mixture of footsteps, spoken word, and hand-claps,” writes the African American Registry.

Step has its origins in Africa, as dancing has been a large part of traditional African culture for centuries.

Calling Step a "bizarre silent dance without music" has to be one of the wilder antiblack racist descriptions I've ever heard of stepping lmao. Anyway if you see the video, it's step!!! They're stepping!! It's a Black American form of dance!!
